# Upscale and export your work

> Generate at 2K or 4K, upscale to 8K on export, and download images, layered files, vectors, videos and 3D models.

Generate at a higher resolution in [Modify](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/modify.md), or upscale a finished image as you [export](https://docs.vizcom.com/export-panel.md) it.

Where to find it
Select an image > **Download**, or **Export** at the top right

Works in
Workbench and Studio

Credits
Original size is free. Upscaling: [1 to 14 per image](https://docs.vizcom.com/vizcom-credits.md#upscale), 15 or 32 per second of video.

Plans
All plans. 3D export, and upscaling from Studio, need a paid plan.

Download (1) has Export... for upscaling and formats; Quick actions (2) has Upscale 4K.

## Generate at 2K or 4K

Set **Resolution** on a Workbench Modify block: **1K** to explore, **2K** or **4K** for finals. Higher resolutions cost more [credits](https://docs.vizcom.com/vizcom-credits.md#modify).

The original is pixelated; each larger size shows the stitches more sharply.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/I-2hvc0QrsSa4kp4/images/examples/resolution-sweater.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=I-2hvc0QrsSa4kp4\&q=85\&s=78d7ba1ca616161a40422a1eea41544e)

Original, 1K, 2K and 4K: each step resolves more of the knit.

## Export an image

![The Image Export Options window with Image, 3 selected, in the sidebar. The Format menu (PNG) is marked 1, the Scaling menu (Original) is marked 2, and the Export 3 assets button is marked 3. The source preview shows a drill render.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx/images/find/export-options.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx\&q=85\&s=dc543387b454343ed7bd7a5d61ae159a)

The export window: Format (1), Scaling (2) and the Export button (3).

**1. Open the export window**

Select images and click **Export** at the top right. With nothing selected, it exports every image and video.

**2. Pick a format**

Choose a **Format** 1, such as PNG, JPEG or SVG.

**3. Pick a scaling option**

Keep **Original** 2, or pick an upscale size.

**4. Export**

Click **Export N assets** 3. Several files download as a .zip.

### Scaling: upscale on export

![The export window with the Scaling menu marked 1 and its options marked 2: Original (about 1s, checked), 2K (about 1m), 4K (about 1m) and 8K (about 2m).](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx/images/find/export-scaling.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx\&q=85\&s=778ec7a09ff33c013ae19e95deaf7cf7)

Open Scaling (1) to pick an upscale size (2).

Scaling adds detail without redesigning the image. It costs 1 credit at 2K, 4 at 4K and 14 at 8K. Transparent images get **4×** instead. For 8K, generate at 2K or 4K first.

## Export a video

Select the video > **Download** > **Export...**. Choose **MP4** at Original, 2K or 4K (15 or 32 credits per second to upscale), or **GIF**.

## 3D models

Export on paid plans as OBJ, FBX, GLB, STL or USDZ. There's no SketchUp, STEP or IGES export. See [Make 3D from 2D](https://docs.vizcom.com/2D-to-3D.md#export-a-3d-model).

## Other finishing tools

Original
Enhance

**Enhance**, in Studio's **Adjust** tab, sharpens a layer. **Remove Background** is in **Quick actions**. See [Upscale and clean up](https://docs.vizcom.com/enhance-and-upscale.md).

## Good to know

* **Upscale last.** Small text and fine lines can change.
* **Exports keep running** after you close the window. Follow them in the **Export queue**.
* **Viewers** export at **Original** only.
